This time I chose Paladin.

Chapter 94: Like the old stars watching

Yes.

No matter what happens, life must go on.

Nie Weiyang came back to his senses and smiled at the two of them.

"You're right," he said.

The wind chased the sun from east to west. When the three of them arrived in Xinyin District, it was already afternoon and another sunset was approaching.

"There will be a curfew tonight." The two reminded Nie Weiyang.

From ancient times to the present, curfew has been an important means to reduce crime rates. There are too many crimes in this world that happen in the dark. Although evil deeds are inevitable in the world under the sun, as long as most people stay in their rooms at night, the minority who are ready to act will be more easily exposed.

The problem of the new world has never been a lack of people trying to maintain order, but that there are always people trying to destroy order, and different people have different opinions on whether a set of order is feasible and should be followed.

In an era where even professional gamers are far more powerful than ever before, the cost of maintaining order is growing ever higher. While there are always those who insist on this, human beings are creatures. No one can completely eradicate crime and achieve permanent peace. We can only minimize the extent of unrest.

but……

"I might be breaking the curfew," Nie Weiyang answered frankly, "If there's any problem, you can report it to me personally."

This frankness made Peng Tianyu and Xu Rui choke for a moment, and then, "No need, the people above said before we came out that you might act at night, you can act as you please." Peng Tianyu said.

His intentions were seen through, but Nie Weiyang wasn't surprised. After all, it was part of the tacit understanding. And those people... well, compared to him, who had spent twenty years killing people in his previous life, those who had risen to high positions on Earth were at least ten thousand times more sophisticated in human relations.

They understood Nie Weiyang's style of doing things at first sight, so the whole conversation was straightforward and concise. Even the gift-giving was simple. They just asked the highest commander to personally deliver the gift to show courtesy.

But this was only the case when facing Nie Weiyang. If it was someone else, they would probably have to give that person some face and put him on a high pedestal.

There are many people in the city, and there are always some people wearing religious clothing. After the three people entered the Xinyin area, the number of people wearing religious clothing around them increased visibly, from occasionally encountering one or two to two or three out of ten people.

It was not until the three of them entered the religious street that Nie Weiyang discovered that the so-called "street" here was actually a small circular square. The square was not very big, but it was surrounded by various religious buildings. In the center was... a large stone that was being sculpted?

"That is..." Nie Weiyang asked in a low voice.

What could possibly fit into this circle of religions spanning ancient and modern times, East and West? Jesus, holding a whisk and wearing Buddhist beads?

"They don't want to carve any religious symbols." Peng Tianyu also answered in a low voice.

"That's right." Nie Weiyang's voice returned to normal volume.

He cautiously watched all directions for any signs of movement, but at the moment, Religious Street seemed completely normal. Even near the statue, two Taoist priests, three nuns, a pastor, and a nun were gathered together, writing and drawing in a notebook. A group of warrior monks passed by carrying rice, flour, and oil, splitting up into groups of three or four to drop off the supplies at the doors of various houses.

Nie Weiyang pricked up his ears and found that they were actually discussing the cleaning arrangements for the small square next week.

That's fine too. It's a local specialty.

Nie Weiyang was a little helpless. He always felt that he couldn't find any information at the moment.

Maybe we should wait until nightfall.

He turned to head over to the artists' market, but then saw an old Taoist priest wearing sunglasses leisurely strolling out of a small building with a sign that read "Mingzhen Temple" not far away. Meanwhile, an old pastor, carrying a classic text, also leisurely strolled out of a small chapel topped with a cross, carrying a book in his arms. The two met under the sculpture, and the old Taoist priest chuckled and called out loudly, "Isn't that bald monk coming?"

"You know he really doesn't eat meat," the old pastor whispered. "Keep your voice down. If you really piss him off, will those little monks let you off?"

The old Taoist curled his lips and said, "Okay." He lowered his voice.

The old pastor's voice was still low: "Where are you going today?"

"Go around and meet whoever you meet." The old Taoist priest's voice became even lower.

The two ignored the surrounding gazes and loudly conspired, completely unaware that Nie Weiyang had silently walked up behind them. The two guards stared at Nie Weiyang's completely silent armored boots with wide eyes, stunned:?
——No, this is a piece of fake iron?
"Ah... daily tasks." The old pastor shook his head. "I never imagined I'd find myself in a completely different world, counseling and hearing confessions every day. Luckily, this task doesn't restrict the environment, otherwise where would I find a mobile confessional?"

"So am I?" The old Taoist priest shook his head. "I'm over ninety, and I still have to cultivate my energy and chant scriptures every day. I even tell people's fortunes and exorcise demons. Why don't you assign these tasks to those fortune-tellers?"

"Because the gentlemen who are in charge of the matter are all in the battle line." said Nie Weiyang.

The old Taoist priest and the old pastor were silent for a moment and slowly turned back.

"Young man, if you scare us to death, you will be scaring two living books to death." The old Taoist said slowly.

Nie Weiyang laughed, the laughter rolling in his chest.

"I know," he said. "I'm sorry."

Of course he knew.

Because in his previous life, he was saved by this old Taoist priest.

……

In Nie Weiyang's previous life, his vampire bloodline had always been exposed.

Too many people in Langcheng knew that he was a vampire. Even if his eyes did not emit such a terrifying light as they did now, they were still red enough to make it difficult for people to look him in the face.

Therefore, when the people of Langcheng dispersed, some people who came to Gucheng like him naturally brought the matter of vampires to Gucheng.

What kind of creature is a vampire?
In legends, it kills people, sucks blood, hides during the day and comes out at night, and is immortal. In modern times, literary and artistic works have begun to describe it as a beautiful creature full of evil charm.

On top of that, it can turn others into vampires.

Even if a half-vampire with only 50% bloodline couldn't do this, no one was sure if Nie Weiyang could actually do it. Most importantly, after being wounded and nearly dying multiple times, many people realized that Nie Weiyang's blood and flesh recovery ability was incredibly high, so high that it was unheard of.

Those who were injured during the ascending blood moon, those whose relatives and friends died, those who wanted to prolong their lives, those who wanted to regenerate severed limbs, and those who wanted to gain more resources...

When they learned that there was such a person who could recover from injuries that would be fatal to ordinary people just by drinking two sips of blood.

And this person is kind.

So, what will they do?
